SHAFT ALIGNMENT FOR ROTATING MACHINERY

The course is designed for millwrights, mechanics, and craftsmen who must become proficient in the use of their laser alignment tool in performing day-to-day alignments of coupled rotating machinery. The course includes both practical hands-on and theoretical instruction. Proper alignment principles and practices are stressed, including soft foot, troubleshooting and special applications.

I could not have learned the fundamentals without the hands-on time. This was very important and useful to all of us.

Soft foot:

Measuring soft foot conditions

Analyzing soft foot conditions

Correcting soft foot

Spacer shafts; tolerances and alignment.

Targets and thermal growth: deliberate misalignment (optional).

Special applications and procedures.

Requirements:
Student should have alignment experience in general; some exposure to the laser alignment system would also be helpful but is not required.

I know for a fact that with what I have learned in these 2 training days, I will cut down my alignment time at least in half. Thanks for your expertise and the time you guys spent with us!
